The Unreliability of His Friends

Job 6:14-23

He that is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.

My brethre haue deceiued me as a brook, and as the rising of the riuers they passe away.

Which are blackish with yee, and wherein the snowe is hid.

But in time they are dryed vp with heate and are consumed: and when it is hote they faile out of their places,

Or they depart from their way and course, yea, they vanish and perish.

They that go to Tema, considered them, and they that goe to Sheba, waited for them.

But they were confounded: when they hoped, they came thither and were ashamed.

Surely nowe are ye like vnto it: ye haue seene my fearefull plague, and are afraide.

Was it because I said, Bring vnto me? or giue a rewarde to me of your substance?

And deliuer me from the enemies hande, or ransome me out of the hand of tyrants?
